Matt will be giving a more thorough update but until we straighten out the vandalism over the New Year weekend we will not be giving permission for anyone to visit the hot springs.  I realize that most of those wishing to visit are good people . . . unfortunately, a few miscreants have ruined it for everyone.  Both myself and Matt . . .
